International Women's Day 2018 was on March 8th, as the world celebrated women and our achievements and impact on society, even while being oppressed for centuries before. On that day, many women globally went on strike at work to emphasize important issues such as violence against women, the pay gap, and issues that highlight the disparity between genders. As the #metoo movement shed light on sexual violence, the constant belittling of women by the current US administration, and problems like child marriage show that there is a lot of misogyny alive in this century, it is crucial that women work together to create a world of complete equality. Many protests, movements, and statements were made on that day to show that women are just as equal and will demand equality until it happens. Along with protests, many also celebrated the great importance and milestones women have made, and this day showed most importantly that women are empowering and remarkable.
